Israel's occupation army claimed on Tuesday evening that they have identified the individual responsible for the rare rocket strike from Jenin, and that he did not belong to any Palestinian faction, including Hamas.

The homemade missile exploded barely 100m from its launchpad, an Israeli military source told the Hebrew publication Ynet. It was also fired without an explosive warhead.

The Israeli army maintains that there is no significant missile infrastructure in the occupied West Bank, and that the main remains drive-by shootings and the detonation of explosive devices.
